It's been a busy few months since my last post, so I thought I would share a recipe that is easy to make, extremely healthy, refreshing and delicious beyond words. I have been busy with working at a Health food store, being surrounded by good, healthy and organic food has been so wonderful for me, I also have started volunteering at the farm I was volunteering at for the last couple of years(Kragnes Family Farms), I started getting my organic half share last week & love it. I will be sharing hopefully at least two recipes a week from now on. I hope you enjoy these great meals as much as I love making them and coming up with the simple recipes.
I had a friend & her son over the other night for dinner, she brought the chicken, I used what I had left from my share & some fun things I found at the local grocery store. Here is the recipes:
